Being nominated  for an Oscar is an honor, but for one nominee that honor is no longer his. Due to what the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences considered an unfair advantage, the nomination for “Alone Yet Not Alone,” the original song for the movie of the same name, has been revoked.

The academy came out with evidence that Bruce Broughton, the song’s composer, emailed members during the voting period, a clear violation of the regulations. The academy also said that only the other four nominees will be up for the Oscar for “Best Original Song” :“Happy” from Despicable Me 2, “Let It Go”from Frozen, “The Moon Song” from Her and “Ordinary Love” from Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.

The board of governors made their decision to revoke the nomination through a statement on Wednesday after the found that Broughton “had emailed members of the branch to make them aware of his submissions during the nominations voting period.”

Aspiring music producer and audiophile senior Zamua Nasrawt does not agree with the board’s decision to remove the nomination. “I  am 100 percent outraged to hear that such beautiful words aren’t valuable enough to win an award; I demand they be re-nominated,” Nasrawt said.

In the same statement, the President of the academy, Cheryl Boon Isaacs, indicated that it was a matter of perception that brought the nominee’s cancellation. “No matter how well-intentioned the communication, using one’s position as a former governor and current executive committee member to personally promote one’s own Oscar submission creates the appearance of an unfair advantage,” Isaacs said.

This, however, wasn’t the first time the academy has revoked nominations. In 2010 they revoked “Hurt Locker”’s bid after producer Nicolas Chartier sent emails to voters to elect his movie over fellow nominee “Avatar”.
